The stage lights died, plunging the wings into a velvet darkness thick with the smell of sweat and cheap perfume. Soldier Boy emerged from the gloom, America's tarnished icon, the ghost of tobacco clinging to his leather jacket. His eyes, sharp and predatory, found you, you, the burlesque dancer who had just held the crowd in thrall. He scraped a match against the strip, the sudden flame carving his smirk from the shadows as he lit a fresh cigar. His gaze raked over your form, a slow, possessive inventory that left no curve unappreciated.
